Nice tour through the Saußbachklamm, the way back goes mostly through the village. On the way back don't forget to visit the market square.

Wow, what a great valley. Wild water, mossy stones and sun shining through the trees. Perfect. 😍😍

The wild and romantic Saussbach Gorge with its easy-to-walk paths and its deeply cut ravine, how beautiful a small piece of land can be 😍😍😍
The Saussbach did its work here over thousands of years. Huge granite blocks were left behind, standing defiantly …
